| Sierra Aspen Ranch Nigerian Dwarf Goats |
THE RANCH:
We are located at the base of the Sierra Nevada mountains near Reno, NV. Our
introduction to Nigerian Dwarf Goats bloomed into a passion had by the entire family.
We chose Nigerians because they produce sweet milk and stay small (around 21" tall)
which makes it easy to keep them on a small acreage. They are easily handled by
children and they come in just about any color or combination of colors you can imagine.
Nigi's have wonderful personalities and while they are the smallest dairy goat breed,
they hold their own in milk production.
Our goal is to raise and breed show quality kids who excel in dairy character and milk
production. We have invested in top quality breeding stock to establish a good
foundation to meet our goal.
Our herd comes from CAE, CL and Johnes tested free farms! We test annually for
CAE, CL and Johnes prior to kidding and bringing new herd members onto the property
and our herd tested NEGATIVE in 2012!

| Spring has Sprung!!! We have added some awesome genetics to our herd out of incredible show and dairy lines. We are happy to have goats from Algedi Farm, Castle Rock, Jasper Pine and Dragonfly as our foundation herd at Sierra Aspen Ranch!! |
NEWS: 5/25/12
Our herd is almost complete! We brought home our doeling Algedi
Farm MH SomethingRoyal who is linebred on the Late Great SGCH
Rosasharn's UMT Tupelo Honey and our buckling Algedi Farm JD
Shotgun Wedding out of some absolutely amazing show and milking
lines! We also got two does from Jasper Pine who's granddams
are Tupelo Honey and GCH Rosasharn's TL Zenith respectively.
We are looking forward to watching these kids grow and show.
Please see our herdbook to read more about each individual herd
member.
Ellie has been participating in DHI Milk Test and is well on her
way to earning her Advanced Registry. We are happy to have
this doe in our herd and look forward to seeing what she and her
retained doeling do in the show ring and on appraisal.
Linear Appraisal is scheduled for June 5th! We will have our
entire herd of appropriate age appraised and we will be bringing
our little ones too young yet to appraise just to see what the
appraiser has to say about our herd as a whole.
We are planning to go to the Delta Dairy Goat Association 2nd
annual show, Stockton, CA on June 9th. Some of our young stock
will be shown in addition to our doe in milk. Sierra has decided
she will be showing everyone so I get to fill in if there is more
than one goat in the same class. This should be real fun and a
wonderful experience.
